Prostitution is legal here... and soft drugs are everywhere (even if not legal). Also it is a FRIEND. I don't know how your definition of that word is... but i am not hunting friends down in the name of laws i despise. I am not reporting people for pirating or planning crimes or anything (well anything which is not really EVIL)
Nope.
You, the reader of this post on the other hand I would sell down the river as soon as look at you...in fact I think I'll fit you up for something right now...

I would then have no friends and I would be a massive hypocrite. So, I'm going to go with no on that one.
I wouldn't turn them in, but I would give them a good scolding!

Yes, it would be my duty as a trainee Police officer to turn them in. Also I wouldn't call prostitution a victimless crime.
"Victimless crime" refers to an act that's illegal and therefore a crime, but doesn't involve a victim. Like, for example, smoking a joint. Pretty simple.Xvito said:
And to answer the question, no, I wouldn't. I'm no rat. My friend would have do something genuinely terrible, like murder or rape someone, for me to consider snitching them out. Not only is squealing against my principles, there's also the old adage about snitches ending up in stitches to consider.
Ok so most have acknowledged the fact that victimless crimes don't actually exist. Good, that means I don't need to argue that point alone should the need arise.
No I wouldn't turn them in, except as a last resort. Drugs, they're bad, I'd talk to them about it, talk to people they know about it, try and convince them of their foolishness, etc.
And by that time if they still decide that ruining their mind, body and life in general is a grand idea then they wouldn't be my friend any more and I would happily report their behaviour to the authorities.
I don't take well to being ignored, and I don't make a habit of remaining friends with fools. Hence the reason I had a falling out with my friend who would cut himself, someone who thinks self harming is something clever and refuses to listen to arguments to the contrary is not someone I want to be around.
Note: he's better now, we aren't as close as before but we've talked since and are on friendly terms.
Note: I wouldn't report someone for prostitution I don't see the harm, if they were married/had a girlfriend then I would have to think about whether I tell her, that might have something to do with how well I know her.
